Maple Grove, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-409
Posting to prevent occupancy
Operative Text
The compliance official may post a notice on a rental unit to prevent occupancy whenever a rental unit has no license; has been denied an initial license; had its license revoked, denied, or not renewed; or the unit has been declared unfit for occupancy. No person other than the compliance official may remove or alter any posting. The compliance official will post the date the rental unit must be vacated and no person may reside in, occupy, or cause to be occupied that rental unit until the compliance official permits it.
Under Maple Grove Code of Ordinances ch. 10, art. XII § 10-409, a compliance official has the authority to post a notice on a rental unit that bars anyone from living in or occupying it under specific circumstances — including when the unit lacks a valid license, has had its license revoked or denied, or has been declared unfit for habitation. Once posted, the notice can only be removed or altered by the compliance official, and the unit must remain unoccupied until the official grants permission. The posting will include a date by which the unit must be vacated.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 10-409, a compliant rental property operator maintains a current, valid rental license and addresses any conditions that could lead to an unfit-for-occupancy declaration before they escalate to a posting action. When a compliance official does post a notice, operators generally cooperate with the remediation process and obtain official clearance before allowing any tenant to re-enter or occupy the unit. Altering or removing a posted notice is expressly prohibited under this provision, and only the compliance official may do so.

Section 10-409 of the Maple Grove Code of Ordinances provides that if a compliance official posts a notice on your rental unit, you have a right to know the vacate date that must be included on that posting. Tenants whose units are posted may wish to contact a local tenant-rights organization or housing authority to understand what remedies or relocation assistance, if any, may be available. If you believe a posting was issued in error or affects your housing situation, options may include raising the matter with the compliance official directly or consulting a housing attorney familiar with Maple Grove ordinances.
